Hey,
I have under 5 hours on my new bike and I have broke two left side springs and one right. (left and right last night).
Could the dealer who PDi'd bike put them on incorrectly? Did I put the replacement on wrong.
Could someone help me?????
Does the older model 2015 for example work.

The Shop
Also, if you have a Husky dealer nearby you could check there as well, same part.
I have a few spares in the parts box now, they break if they are installed correctly or not. The rear brake lever spring is another one...
over building parts to withstand a measure of stress above anticipated use case is not a design criteria.
Suppliers are not located on the same island, and arguably subject to more aggressive pricing pressure than JDM suppliers.
customers as beta testers is an acceptable business practice.
planned obsolescence is an acceptable method to protect future revenue.
No broken peg springs in my group of about 10 Austrian bikes...38 hours on mine.

If you were at least as knowledgeable as you are biased, i'd figure you would have pointed the OP to the below though:

broke a second one last month on my 18 450, put a new one on and no problems since then. I saw it happen to others before it happened to me, I think MXA said something about it at some point. no big deal, they are inexpensive.
